Be More Careful With Your Camera and Don’t Break The LCD Screen!

It’s a simple fact that we live in a throw-away society. You buy that brand new fancy digital camera with all the bells and whistles for $400, and in 6 months to 1 year it’s worth maybe half that, and then the unthinkable happens: you drop it and it breaks. The LCD is cracked, or the lens is jammed; what do you do? You go back to there store where you bought it and the kid working there that knows next to nothing about cameras to begin with, let alone camera repair, tells you to throw it in the garbage and it’s not fixable. And so you feel the manufacturer is to blame for the problem, you throw away the camera and instead look to buy another made by a different company.

There are always alternatives to every problem including this one. Honest! Yes, it may cost 0 to fix your camera, and yes you can buy that camera in the bubble pack on the shelf at Wall Mart for less than 0, but what kind of quality do you honestly expect from a 0 camera? Not very good quality I hope, because you’re not going to get it.

#1 – Cracked, broken, smashed LCD screen.

It was hard for me to choose between a jammed lens and broken LCD screen repair but I stuck with LCD for #1 because it’s so easy to break your LCD that you don’t even have to touch the camera to do it!

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is the view screen on the back of the camera that lets you see menus, playback pictures etc. The LCD is very thin, very fragile, and on many many cameras completely UNPROTECTED! Look at the back of your camera, is the screen recessed slightly or is the back of the camera flat and smooth? If it’s flat you have a protective ‘window’ or ‘glass’ over the LCD to help prevent damage and breakage. If it’s not flat, you have nothing protecting your LCD and should put a good quality LCD screen protector on the camera and NOT those thin, flimsy ’saran wrap’ plastic film screen protectors, they are worthless.

- Don’t leave your camera in your car in summer or winter. Extreme heat can cause expansion of the liquid in the LCD and cause it to ‘crack’, and on the other side of things extreme cold can cause it to freeze!

- Don’t ever put anything pressing against your LCD screen in your camera bag, as it can crack the LCD screen (yes even if there is a window over it there is a chance it will break!)

- Don’t put your camera in your back pocket and then sit down!

- Don’t put your camera in your front pocket and then roll over on it.

- … Just avoid putting the camera in your pants pocket completely. =)

Ok, so it’s broken, what do you do now?

- The manufacturer will just site impact damage and will refuse the repair even if the camera wasn’t dropped etc. You can still try, but they will most likely not fix it.

- Search for defective cameras on eBay and use one to repair yours and make one good camera out of them.

- Look for an actual camera repair business and not somebody that will send it to the manufacturer and tell you it’s $200 and 4-6 weeks to repair. (If they tell you this, they are NOT repairing your camera for you, they are sending it to the manufacturer, guaranteed)

Many LCD screens are very easy to install and you can do it yourself and all you need is a small screwdriver. Other LCD’s are very difficult to install, and even professionals don’t like to do them! While I can’t pick one brand …. is the best and Brand … is the worst, it’s really not like that. Certain SERIES of cameras have 1 or 2 models that are difficult to work on, yet the rest of them are fairly straight forward. You need to decide for yourself if you want to open your camera and try the repair yourself or not.

How is an LCD replaced?

With most Canon digital camera LCD screens for example (using them as the example because they have the largest market share) all you do is disconnect the ribbon cable for the LCD and the backlight (the light that shines through the LCD and allows you to see what is on the screen) and then install the new LCD. Some LCDs do come with the backlight that shines through it attached and others do not. Some backlights need to be soldered to the mainboard of the camera, some do not.

- Be careful to not touch the flash capacitor contacts! You WILL zap yourself if you do, and it will HURT a bit. You may end up tossing the camera half-way across the room when it happens to you. (Yes I have done it, I have been repairing digi cams for about 5yrs so….) We use an item called a “flash capacitor discharger” and we use them every time we work on a camera.

My wish is that I have helped you to understand the subject of camera repair. There’s no need to toss out your camera just because the LCD screen is broken, in fact you might be able to fix it yourself!

Canon PowerShot A Series Cameras: A Super Pick For Any User!

Today’s digital camera technology offers consumers an irresistible range of camera options coming from different top brands.

Shopping for a new camera can become overwhelming due to the number of models and specifications available today. So how can a consumer end up picking the cream of the crop?

While there is no single best digital camera (since choices vary according to each person’s unique needs and preferences), your best bet is of course to study the options available and rely on one of the top brands in the market today.

Canon Digital Cameras

What is the brand with the largest market share today? Canon! Canon has always been known to be a top manufacturer of a wide array of superior digital cameras. Its camera series lines, which include PowerShot (point and shoot) and EOS (DSLR), have consistently received numerous positive ratings from users and critiques.

Of course, not everything that Canon produces is flawless as there have been issues along the way; nevertheless this company enjoys a good reputation and an outstanding track record when it comes to high quality digital cameras.

These days price is a concern to us all when buying a new Canon digital camera but thankfully they have many affordable digital cameras available. The Canon Powershot A470 is a top-selling camera for good reason. This compact and portable digital camera offers a 7.1 megapixel CCD, 3.4x optical zoom, and a 2.5-inch LCD monitor for your viewing pleasure. Quality and user-friendliness are combined in this piece of affordable camera.

Canon also recognizes the fact that digital cameras have also become a fashion accessory today and people are looking for beauty and style aside from excellent performance. The Canon A1000 IS was designed not only to look nice, but also to be easy to use as well. Even with its modern style, its features do not take a backseat.

Proper Care and Maintenance

Just like with any other brand of digital camera, it is imperative that you take utmost care of your Canon camera repair. Even if Canon is known for its quality, it is still not invincible to wear and tear. As much as possible, protect your camera from dust and debris. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to impact.

If you suspect any malfunction in your digicam, bring it immediately to a service center that has experience with Canon digital camera repair. If you prefer to do it yourself, look for a vendor selling genuine OEM Canon digital camera parts.

Producing high-quality photographs is not at all difficult with the excellent line of Canon PowerShot series. To ensure that you end up with the best choice that will meet your photography needs and requirements, review and compare different products before buying.

Repair That Canon Powershot SD Camera Broken Lens Barrier Yourself!

So many different people have asked us about fixing the built in lens covers/barriers/flaps on their Canon Powershot SD series digital cameras that I’ve gone ahead and written some instructions. The barrier kit on most Canon PowerShot SD series cameras is a little tricky but not impossible to replace yourself. You will need patience, a good eye and a steady hand as well as a small screwdriver. We’ve been using dental picks for some time, they do a good job!

To get things started, turn on the camera to extend the lens and then open the battery door and remove the battery so that the lens stays out. This allows you to easily work on the lens barrier assembly.

The first part that goes in is the barrel drive ring; it has a small part sticking down into the lens. Some cameras don’t have one, so if there isn’t one in your kit then your camera doesn’t need it. Be certain that it will rotate slightly after installation, otherwise it is probably not installed properly and can cause the lens to get jammed.

Next we will install the barrier plates or ‘flaps’ with the springs attached. Put one spring on each of the flaps, there are little tabs to hold them on. They are TINY, they are hard to hold and if you drop it… please take my advice and don’t drop it, ok? We do have just the springs available for purchase, but please try not to lose them.

Gently put the flap in the hole with the spring laying towards the post that the free end will mount on; then with something with a very small tip (we use dental picks!) gently grab the loop of the spring and stick it on its post.

Do this with the flaps in the open position, they will stay in place if you get them seated properly. If everything pops off, just start again. Try not to stretch out the springs, they need to remain tight for the assembly to work properly.

Then gently put on the barrier cover, it’s a flat plastic ring. There are tabs on the barrier cover, they match up with little slots on the lens and it locks into place. Be gentle, don’t force anything too hard or you will break it and the parts will not hold it place.

Now it’s time to test your skills! Put in the battery (cross your fingers) and press the power button! Did it work? Did it go *SPROING!* and all the parts flew across the room? I hope not, but you’re not alone I’ve been there too.

Once it’s working nicely …you’re almost done with your first camera repair!

Next put the dual sided tape on the barrier cover. VERY IMPORTANT: Peel the tape off the yellow backing paper but DO NOT remove the paper from the side that is cut to match the shape of the tape!! If you take off the small paper part it will ruin the tape because it will fold and stick to itself. Bye bye tape!

The tabs of the tape fold over the edges, if they stick out the lens cover will not fit properly and can jam up the lens. Line up the tape tabs, starting at the 11 o’clock position and then fold down the tabs and press them in.

Now put on your chrome or black lens cap, line up the cap with the small indentation at the bottom, you’ll see how it goes on easily.

Fire up the camera again and admire your handywork! Congratulations you now know more about digital camera repair than the Geek Squad, and they told you it would be two hundred dollars and take 3-4 weeks to repair. Whatever Geek Squad… Whatever.

Hmm… I think I’m seeing the beginning of something big here; affordable do it yourself Canon camera repair!

Top 5 Vacation Spots to Photograph in Minnesota

46 mammal species (including black bears, Timberwolves and coyotes)
over 173 different species of birds
16 reptile species that are non – poisonous

Moreover, if rock formations are your thing, then you might enjoy the slate and greywacke bedrock of the St. Louis River that is adorned with several shale protrusions.

2. The Super Hiking Trail
Do you enjoy mountain climbing as much as you love photography? If you do, then the SHT is for you. If you are into that sort of thing, there is a 244 mile hiking trail that runs along side Lake Superior for you to enjoy. While enjoying the hike, you can take snapshots of the lake and some breath taking sights of the trail itself.

3. Voyageurs National Park
The name was given by the French-Canadian visitors long ago that arrived by canoe. This park has about 30 different lakes and probably more than 1000 islands in those lakes. There are many enjoyable activities such as swiming, fishing and canoeing. And don’t forget to take pictures of the islands along the way to record the trip.

4. Minnehaha (Laughing) Falls
The waterfall is located in the south east side of Minneapolis. However, the Minnehaha Falls is not the only attraction that is photo worthy. Tourists and locals alike, have found themselves posing beside the statues of Hiawatha and Minnehaha. Both of which are famous because of Longfellow’s “Song of Hiawatha”.

If you are looking for color in your photographs and the flowers and orchids are not enough, you can visit the Enchanted Garden filled with all sorts of butterflies.

I am lucky enough to be living in the St. Paul area so my wife and I take our two young children to Como fairly often. It can be difficult to try and capture the images that I see when we are there as a family, so I am scheduling my own excursion to the zoo, and only my camera is invited to go along with me!

Of course those are but a few sites that you can visit. If you are visiting for several days there are many more parks, hiking trails and other attractions that are worth photographing. If in the middle of your picture-taking trip, you find the need for some maintenance of your digital camera or DSLR, there are a few shops that actually perform digital camera repair in Minnesota.

Photography has seen many changes over the years. Firstly, cost has decreased meaning many more people can afford to be serious about photography. Nowadays, all that is needed to begin a professional photography career is a good camera, computer (or laptop) and a photo editing package.

There are many forms of photography that have gained popularity, like digital photography. This is no different from typical photography. The only difference is that digital photography, as it’s name suggests, uses digital technology. Before, photography requires film and photographic processing before an image can be produced. On the other hand, we can print, store, edit, and display images without any chemical processing.

Photography is also a form of pastime for some people. Anyone can use a camera and take some photos. For this very reason, a lot of people are trying their hand at the digital photography business. This is a good way of earning extra income while enjoying your self. So, how does one turn what we do for pleasure into profit? Some of the most useful tips for starting a digital photography business are as follows:

1.    Have focus on what you do.
You really need to decide which type of photography you are best suited to before starting a business. Are you keener on wedding photography? Or perhaps taking pictures of babies or children is of more interest to you? There is always the option of opening your own studio. It is essential that you decide on what kind of business you would like to put up sooner. This way, you can focus on your efforts. Say for example, you decide to start wedding photography, then you could advertise in brides magazines. Once you become successful and gain more customers you can start to look at other areas. Word of mouth can be as damaging as it brings success, so treat it well.

2.Continue to get more training.
The art of photography should never be taken lightly. Getting further photographic training would not hurt. In fact, it is useful if you want to improve more on specific aspects that you are not that good at. Trainings also provide you with a proficiency level that lets you know what you are doing. While your career prospers, you should start taking more courses, particularly specialty courses, so that the range of your business will grow. Courses will increase credibility.

3.    Start networking online and offline.
Networking is important if you want to make your business known among people. The best first step is through your friends and relatives. Let them know that you are currently in photography business. Print some business cards that show details of your business. You should think about providing a gallery where people can view your work, or even create a website. Remember to put your website details on your cards so people can look at your work. You can also join local clubs for networking in your area. Try Facebook and other social networking sites as well. A lot of people are hooked to these websites and your ads can easily be viewed.

4.    Practice makes perfect.
In starting a business this is the most significant part. Try anything that will help you hone your skills in photography, even if it means giving services for free temporarily. For example. take a friends wedding photos for cost price. This voluntary work will be appreciated by your friends and they might start hiring you for other events. Moreover, you can add the pictures you took into your portfolio, which you can use as a sample for your potential clients. As word of mouth spreads and you become more in demand, you can increase your. This extra money can be used to upgrade equipment. You may also have more ads.

5.    Create your own portfolio.
A photographer’s resume is his portfolio. This is important if you are to impress future clients. Place all of your best photos together in a binder. Your clients can use your portfolio as a reference. If they like your shots, there is a great possibility that they will hire you.

6.    Use local settings to your advantage.
What settings you choose will decide the final quality of the shot. If you are currently residing near the beach area, take as much photos as you can. A gazebo may come in handy for events such as graduations or weddings. Wild animals or just friends can be a good start for taking pictures in a forest setting.

7.Don’t be scared to invest money.
The equipment needed for the business may be a bit heavy on the pockets, but you will find that they are all worth it in the end. You do not need to buy everything immediately. Start off with a camera and a laptop or computer to edit the pictures with. Once you start to earn money, you can start to purchase more equipment to advance the business.

Photographic Lighting

Photography Lights

 

Whether capturing photos of products or shooting portraits or other images. Achieving great photos of publishable quality, does require some photographic ability whether natural or learned. Photographers often utilize photography equipment such as muslin backdrops and photography lighting kits or lighting stands to highlight the subject. Often times a back light or fill light will be employed as well to eliminate any shadowing affects in the background of the images.

Pro photographers will often choose flash studio lighting for there photo production, particularly when shooting portraiture or modeling shots. The use of flash or strobe lighting requires the synchronized timing of the camera’s shutter to work in unison with the flash to be able to capture high quality photo’s at the perfect time.

Though for some photography enthusiasts, they can also choose to utilize a different type of photo studio equipment such as continuous lighting. This type of photo studio lighting is found in Fluorescent and Halogen photography equipment. They are commonly known and referred to as hot lights and are very simply to operate without the requirement of synchronization like flash lighting does. Moving the light stands for placement, photographers only need to switch on the lights and they are ready to shoot.

Halogen studio lighting burns brighter and can produce a considerable amount of heat in doing so. If you use this type of continuous lighting, the heat in your home or studio will not only rise but your electric bill will rise as well. In contrast, fluroescent studio lighting requires less electricity and produces virtually no heat. With that said, they do not burn as brightly as halogen bulbs do. To counter that, photographers who want to use fluorescent for it’s coolness and energy efficiency simply choose a higher wattage lighting kit to overcome any luminosity differences in output.

The various choices for photographers with the availability of modern photographic lighting equipment have been greatly improved in both quality and options. Digital photo lighting kits in both halogen and fluorescent types are available to photographers to keep pace with the world of digital photography.

Photography equipment is designed to enable photographers , regardless of whether they are a professional or a beginner to be able to elevate the quality of their photographic images on a consistent basis. Bringing both their photos and the craft or hobby of photography to a higher level.
